xxii CLASSIFICATION. 



According to Messrs. Hume and Davison this species is " confined in Tenasserim, so far as 

 yet known, to the summit of Mooleyit and the higher portions of Karennee." 



Mr. Davison only met with this beautiful species in one locality ; and that was near the 

 summit of Mooleyit. " I never observed it," he writes, " much below an elevation of 6000 feet. 

 It was frequenting a number of large flowering forest-trees, at that time covered with masses of 

 red bell-like blossoms. Its habits were precisely those of all the iEthopygas. Even at Mooleyit 

 it was decidedly rare, and I myself only succeeded in shooting four males and one female ; but 

 I saw, perhaps, a dozen more. They were very difficult to procure, because they did not 

 permanently hang about the trees on whose nectar they were feeding, but suddenly emerged 

 from the surrounding deep forest, in which it was quite impossible to see or find them, would 

 appear about one of the blossoming trees, hover about it for a few seconds, and then dart away. 

 This was in February; and on dissection they exhibited no signs of breeding." 



Mr. Anderson records it from Bhamo, Shitee Neru, and Ponsee.

Dr. Beccari collected four specimens in the Singalan Mountains, in Western Sumatra, in 

 June and July.

Mr. A. H. Everett has collected specimens on the island of Zebu, and at Valencia, the 

 southern point of Negros ; one from the latter locality has the yellow rump mottled with scarlet. 



Count Salvadori informs me that his sEthopyga, sp. 1 ? (Ibis, 1865, p. 549), should be referred 

 to M.fiavoatriata.
